Peak Property truly has no respect for your privacy and will invade your space at any given opportunity. There is zero strive for efficiency to reduce interruptions. They refuse to acknowledge how much you pay to live there and treat your home like an empty show room that they can use to their liking year-round.After moving-in in late August they immediately expect you to re-sign the lease for the following year, a full year in advance and committing to 2 years at that location. If you do not immediately re-sign, they will schedule viewings and track strangers in and out of your home, even if you want to stay. I made many phone calls and wrote many emails and no one was remotely helpful, I only received empty apologies and zero solutions. I asked on many occasions to switch to a normal residencial lease instead of a student lease to lessen the interruptions and they claimed that this is impossible, despite having various other locations that do not use student leases. Now they claim that there are pest control issues and have made use rearrange our units every month for 6 months in order to "treat" the apartment. Last time pest control came I was at home and saw how he treated the apartment and moving one's furniture is not at all necessary, but they require us to do it by threatening a $100 fine. I have pointed out that if we have been treated 6 months in a row and there is still an issue, clearly this solution is not working, but once again, they refuse to actually find a solution. After constant threat of fines, and constant interruptions I am highly regretting giving into the bullying and resigning. I am very disappointed that the company I constantly give large on-time payments to refuses to take any responsibility for their actions and will not fix their clearly flawed policies. Please give residents the option to sign non-student leases and make attempts to lessen interruptions. The people paying you thousands of dollars deserve better.Peak Property Group, LLC Response

Hi **** Thank you for reaching out to discuss your concerns. We go to great lengths to ensure all of our residents have a quality and enjoyable living experience, and are disappointed to hear when that does not happen. There seems to be some confusion regarding our lease agreement as we do not have separate student versus non-student lease agreements. All of our properties use the same lease agreement and general policies which we believe to be fair. We understand you may still have some questions or concerns that have yet to be addressed, please reach out to our team at *************************************** and we would be more than happy to discuss your concerns and hopefully come to an amicable solution.Thank you.Review from Scot T

Im in the process of hiring an attorney to address my issues with PPG. After researching, I discovered numerous complaints about this company. They are accusing me of leaving trash outside my apartment after moving out, which led to a $500 fine. I provided PPG with pictures showing that I had hired 1-800-GOT-JUNK to remove the trash, along with the receipt for their services. I would never leave trash outside if I was paying for its removal. Instead, PPG sent me a photo of trash that appears to have been taken recently and doesnt belong to me.Additionally, I observed that their properties are often dirty and unhealthy. When moving out, I noticed fines from the city taped to the wall due to unsafe stair railings. When you move into one of their units, have your parents view the unhealthy basements which house the laundry area. I've seen homeless people get into these areas that PPG doesn't properly secure. So remember when you children are renting these units, that late at night when they do laundry, its not that safe. PPG is NOT securing or even having doorknobs or locks on extra doors that lead to the basement. Despite leaving the unit in better condition than when we moved in, PPG is trying to charge me for a "deep clean." I wouldnt recommend their properties to anyone, especially my own family. In my opinion, PPG is one of the worst companies to deal with in **********.Peak Property Group, LLC Response

I found a unit owned by Peak and signed leases/made deposits with 4 roommates in late 2020. The unit we toured matched the listing, and we were under the impression that all was well. Upon moving in in August 2021, we were devastated to find that all appliances were removed from a kitchen, leaving us with an uninhabitable room with exposed pipes and wood shrapnel. It wasn't long until the pipes began to emit odors and cause leaks into the bathroom on the other side. And then we were made aware of mold forming in said bathroom later on in the lease as a result of the exposed and open pipes. Peak's only response to this is that they had the right to remove appliances even though it goes against the listing that I was under the impression that I was legally signing for. From the beginning, we had noticed that our basement door - which is only accessible via an outdoor entrance - did not fit the door frame and could not be securely locked. Maintenance came to inspect this issue more than once, and we were distributed keys, however the door was still unable to close. This put a house of 20 year old female college students at a major risk for our safety. In early January of 2022, all running water stopped during a major snowstorm. This resorted to myself having to stay in a hotel room in the 5 days that it took to repair our pipes that froze due to the insecure basement door. Today, we have been moved out of this unit for over 60 days and have not received a security deposit despite being told by the leasing office that it had been sent. Additionally, Peak is not even issuing the full deposit as they've assessed that we had done damage to the unit. We had moved into a damaged unit, and all damages were done at the hands of Peak. They will allow your college student to move into a deplorable unit, offer temporary solutions to serious home issues, and then blame your kid for it at the end of the day. They have sucked my roommates and I dry - Please rent elsewhere!Review from Anne W

I needed some repairs upon moving in. Shane was prompt, responsive, and did an amazing job! He fixed everything, and even repaired a couple of other things that I hadn't noticed initially. I was extremely pleased. I hope I don't need to call maintenance again, but if I do I hope they send Shane!Review from Mac A

Who would ask anyone to pay a deposit before any agreement is signed in order to issue the lease agreement? Well, Peak Property Group's office in Cincinnati does. My child is attempting to lease an apartment and they asked me as a cosigner. Their guarantor agreement references compliance with the lease agreement, which is just the standard form, completely blank. I thought it was an overlook, so I emailed them. No, they said. What happens is that I have to sign the guarantor's agreement, which commits me to the lease's terms, then I have to pay them the security deposit, then they will fill out the lease and send it for execution... with whatever language they want to add or subtract... Just like a blank check only bigger. Reading the reviews here I realize the game they play.Peak Property Group, LLC Response

*e moved out of one of their properties on the * 8th Avenue last year. *e were there for three years. The Peak Property Group took over this place about a year before we moved out. *e always paid the rent in time, even during the pandemic. The apartment is super cold in the winter because the heat (by electricity) only created dry heat in one part of the apartment. There's not much ventilation in the apartment. During the time we were there, there wasn't major maintenance. Yet, we took a good care of the apartment because this is a very tiny apartment. If you aren't clean, there's no place to do anything in this apartment. *hen we move out, although we cleaned the apartment carefully, especially the carpet and the bathroom, the Peak Property Group charged us for more than **** plus dollars to replace the carpet, to clean the bathroom, and to repaint the wall. Of these three items, we accepted to pay the last part, thinking that we tried to find the middle ground to solve the issue. However, the Peak didn't agree. Be careful when signing a lease with them.Review from Ashraf A.

They are only about profit. They do not care about tenants. Your rent will increase every year and their customer service is terrible.Review from Jacob M

Would give zero stars if I could. Within one month of moving into a 6 bedroom house in ******** leased by peak, the plumbing in the basement ruptured spewing ***** matter through the carpets in both basement rooms, ruining property and making my roommate and I extremely ill with respiratory infections. This issue took over a week to get a response out of peak. Their solution was to vacuum the carpet and the maintenance team took less than 30 minutes on this job. This has been a recurring issue, with MORE human ***** matter leaking through the ceiling on two other occasions, to which peak charged us for about 20 more minutes of combined maintenance visits. On the most recent occasion, an item was removed from the sewer pipes by the maintenance team and placed in our kitchen sink on top of the dishes we eat off of, and they placed another charge on our account. I am beyond disappointed with my living experience through peak and hope nobody ever has to live through this sort of h*** ever again. I can't believe any company can get away with this kind of ignorance and exploitation.Side note: we also received an email from peak saying they would be RAISING RENT for the next year 'if we chose to resign'. Unbelievable.Review from Adetoun A

This company is extremely unprofessional. I moved in from another state in January signed the lease in December. From December no contact no access to the portal nothing. I do not even get a code to enter the apt, even after contacting. Payment time I have to pay from my roommates account because I still don't have access for two months. The audacity that ********************* asked my roomate if someone moved in weeks after I moved in and we had to send the HEAD of the leasing agency my leasing contract. They place a 300 dollar charge in my account but the previous tenant said it was to be waived, we have contacted multiple times and still told its to be waived. Now they are emailing me saying I am delinquent for not paying their charges. You all literally JUST gave me access to portal just so i can see the charges the day the payment was due. The miscommunication between the agency is almost comical ..if only I wasnt a college student having to pay for their mishaps. If anyone happens to read this before signing a contract pls dont for the sake of your sanity and pockets.
